In her previous life, Nan Zhi should have inherited her family fortune and lived a life of comfort. Instead, she fell hopelessly in love with a poor scholar, and in the end squandered everything and was left with nothing.
It was all because someone had put a love bug on her.
Reborn, she sharpened her knife and resolved to put a love bug on him in return.
But through a twist of fate, the bug ended up on Prince Cang, a cold, grim man who rarely smiled.
Nan Zhi began to panic. Was he going to kill her and toss her into a mass grave?
But things went beyond anything she expected.
The famously heartless Prince Cang was gentle and patient with her, indulging her in everything...
He even cast aside his dignity and willingly became the other man, climbing over her courtyard wall night after night and pulling out all the stops just to beg for her affection.
If she refused, the next second he would threaten to make her a widow and force her to love him.
Nan Zhi: ?
Nan Zhi stopped panicking.
Widowed? That sounded great! She decisively swallowed the secret of the love bug and used Murong Qi to send the poor scholar to a mass grave.
She thought everything was settled and life would go smoothly from then on. But then an accident happened: Murong Qi was injured, and a meddlesome traveling doctor happened to break the spell while treating him.
When she saw Murong Qi again, he had become that grim prince once more.
Seated high above, his face cold and murderously stern, he looked down at her with eyes that had once been full of tenderness, now as sharp as ice, his smile unreadable.
By then, Nan Zhi was drenched in sweat. In her desperation, she blurted out, "What are you staring at? If you're awake, go boil me two eggs!"
Everyone's eyes widened in shock. So bold! Surely the prince would have her hacked to pieces.
But before everyone's eyes, Murong Qi rose with a swish of his sleeve and followed her eagerly. "What else would you like, my lady? Just two eggs? Don't you like having them with cold dishes?"

When Murong Qi met Nan Zhi again, she was already married. In a fit of misery, he drank every last drop of the tea she had brewed for her husband.
Who could have guessed that very night he would be overcome with desire and climb through her window to find her?
"You wouldn't want your husband's career to hit a dead end, would you...? If you don't give in to me, I'll kill him!"
Murong Qi expected her to despise him, but instead Nan Zhi smiled brightly.
"I agree. When are you going to do it?"
